Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum heat exchanger slots, specifically a novel aluminum structure for irregularly shaped slots in compressor heat exchangers. Background Technology

[0002] A compressor is a driven fluid machine that raises low-pressure gas to high-pressure gas; it is the heart of a refrigeration system. It draws in low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas through the suction pipe, compresses it using a piston driven by a motor, and then discharges high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas through the exhaust pipe, providing power for the refrigeration cycle. During operation, the compressor generates a large amount of heat. If this heat is not dissipated in time, the machine temperature will rise, affecting the compressor's lifespan and performance. Therefore, a heat exchanger is needed to lower the compressor's operating temperature. Plate-fin heat exchangers are the preferred choice due to their reasonable structure and high heat exchange efficiency. Plate-fin heat exchangers inevitably require the use of aluminum channel spacers.

[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN221173101U) that discloses a non-circular aluminum channel for heat exchangers. The channel includes an aluminum channel with an internal mounting groove and a sliding groove. A support rod is positioned within the sliding groove, and a connecting rod is mounted on the support rod. A slider is located at the top of the aluminum channel, and a sliding groove is located at the bottom of the slider. The sliding groove engages with the top of the aluminum channel. The slider has a threaded rod, and an adjustment knob is mounted on one side of the threaded rod passing through the slider. The support rod can be slidably connected via the sliding grooves on both sides of the mounting groove. The support rod's support prevents deformation of the aluminum channel during transportation, thus affecting its use. By engaging the slider with the top of the aluminum channel and adjusting the distance between the two sliders by rotating the threaded rod, the deformed aluminum channel can be restored. Compared to existing technologies, this significantly improves practicality.

[0004] It uses support rods to support the aluminum channel to prevent deformation during transportation. However, it has a drawback: it strengthens the aluminum channel through external supports, which means that the supports need to be removed before the aluminum channel is used, increasing the amount of labor required for installation. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a novel aluminum structure for a compressor heat exchanger with irregular grooves, solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a novel irregular-shaped aluminum groove structure for compressor heat exchangers, comprising an aluminum groove body, both sides of which are wavy structures, and the top of the aluminum groove body has two integrally formed grooves.

[0007] Preferably, the interior of the groove is provided with a support mechanism, the support mechanism includes a support bar, and each of the two grooves has a movable groove on its opposite sides. The support bar is located inside the movable groove and its two ends are rotatably connected to the movable groove.

[0008] Preferably, multiple openings are provided on the opposite sides of the two support bars, and a torsion spring is provided inside the opening. The two ends of the torsion spring are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the opening and the inner wall of the movable groove, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, the torsion spring has a fixing rod inside, and the two ends of the fixing rod are fixedly connected to the front and rear surfaces of the opening, respectively.

[0010] Preferably, each of the two movable slots has two locking holes on opposite sides, and each of the two support bars has two storage holes on opposite sides. A compression spring is fixed inside the storage hole, and a locking block is fixed at the other end of the compression spring.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the two support bars is provided with a through groove, and a movable block is slidably connected inside the groove. A pull rope is fixed inside the movable block, and the two ends of the pull rope are respectively fixedly connected to the end of the locking block near the compression spring.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel compressor heat exchanger irregular groove aluminum structure, including a groove aluminum body 1, both sides of the groove aluminum body 1 are wavy structures 3, and the top of the groove aluminum body 1 is integrally formed with two grooves 2, which can increase the strength of the groove aluminum body 1.

[0023] Furthermore, a support mechanism 4 is provided inside the groove 2. The support mechanism 4 includes a support bar 13. Movable grooves 6 are formed on opposite sides of the two grooves 2. The support bar 13 is located inside the movable groove 6, and its two ends are rotatably connected to the movable groove 6, thus supporting the groove 2. Multiple openings 12 are formed on opposite sides of the two support bars 13. A torsion spring 7 is provided inside the opening 12. The two ends of the torsion spring 7 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the opening 12 and the inner wall of the movable groove 6, respectively, so that the support bar 13 will not move inside the opening 12. A fixing rod 11 is provided inside the torsion spring 7, and the two ends of the fixing rod 11 are respectively connected to the opening 12. The front and rear surfaces of the interior of the 2 are fixedly connected, which can limit the torsion spring 7. Two locking holes 5 are opened on the opposite sides of the interior of the two movable grooves 6. Two storage holes 14 are opened on the opposite sides of the two support bars 13. A compression spring 15 is fixed inside the storage hole 14. A locking block 16 is fixed to the other end of the compression spring 15, which can fix the support bar 13. The top of the two support bars 13 is provided with a vertically penetrating slide groove 9. A moving block 10 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 9. A pull rope 8 is fixed inside the moving block 10. The two ends of the pull rope 8 are fixedly connected to the end of the locking block 16 near the compression spring 15, which can control the movement of the locking block 16.

[0024] During operation, the wave-shaped structure 3 can enhance the support on both sides of the aluminum body 1, preventing deformation due to compression during transportation. The groove 2 can enhance the overall strength of the aluminum body 1, preventing it from bending and deforming in the middle. During transportation, the support bar 13 is pushed upwards, supporting the groove 2. At the same time, the locking block 16 is inserted into the locking hole 5 to fix the support bar 13. When it is ready for installation and use, the moving block 10 can be moved, pulling the pull rope 8. The pull rope 8 pulls the locking block 16, moving the locking block 16 out of the locking hole 5. In this way, the torsion spring 7 makes the support bar 13 enter the interior of the movable groove 6, facilitating heat dissipation.
